Benefic exalted Saturn placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to marriage, profession, finances, health, lifespan, spiritual growth and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. As already mentioned by me many times, the eighth house of a horoscope is the most complex and the most difficult to understand house of a horoscope. Therefore, the placement of any benefic as well as any malefic planet in this house of a horoscope can bring some extreme types of results depending on the working nature of such planet and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope in question.
Just like the twelfth house of a horoscope is the favorite playground of Jupiter and the sixth house of a horoscope is the favorite playground of Mercury, the eighth house of a horoscope is the favorite playground of Saturn. Hence exalted Saturn placed in the eighth house of a horoscope feels very relaxed and comfortable and it can work with much ease in this house of a horoscope. Accordingly it can render some very strong or extreme type of results to the native under its influence where such results may be positive or negative depending on the working nature of such exalted Saturn; and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope under consideration. This is due to the fact that when a planet is very comfortable with a particular house or with a particular sign, its performance in such house or sign enhances, whether such performance may be positive or negative. Hence it can deliver some extreme types of results when placed in such house or in such sign.
In fact, the whole concept of the exaltation of a planet in a sign is nothing else but this mere fact to a great extent. It means that out of all the twelve signs, the sign in which a particular planet feels the most comfortable, becomes its sign of exaltation. Just imagine that you like playing sports and among all such sports, football is your favorite. Now given a choice of playing various sports term by term, your performance may be bad, average or good in various sports depending on your level of comfort and your liking for a particular sport. However your performance is naturally likely to be the best in football when compared to all other sports that you play. This is due to the reason that you like this sport the most and accordingly you feel yourself the most comfortable while playing football. Hence you deliver the best in you while playing football, without much conscious effort. In technical terms, your performance becomes exalted when you play football.
This is what happens with the planets also. Each planet gets exalted in the sign where it feels the most comfortable and hence it is able to bring out its topmost performance when placed in such sign. However such performance is only a measure of its strength and it may cause positive or negative results depending on the nature of this performance. For example, if the overall tone of your life allows you to play football on professional basis, you may achieve very good results through this profession and in this case, your exalted performance becomes positive. On the other hand, if the overall tone of your life makes you engage in a different profession but you still keep devoting much of your time to playing football on a hobby basis, it can cause problems. Your performance at your work as well as in your personal life may go down as you are giving a great amount of time and attention to football and hence the other important things in your life are being ignored. Accordingly you may see bad results related to those spheres of your life and your exalted performance becomes negative in this case.
Coming back to the topic, a planet gets exalted in the sign it feels the most comfortable with. Similarly a particular planet may feel the most comfortable in some specific house of a horoscope and the placement of such planet in that house of a horoscope can once again give a push to its performance. Hence such planet may perform with extra strength in such house and the results whether positive or negative are likely to be stronger compared to the results produced by this planet in some other houses of a horoscope. Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra, which means that the overall atmosphere of this sign complements the working nature of Saturn and hence it likes working under the influence of this sign. Since it can produce strong results without much effort when placed in Libra, Saturn gets exalted in Libra, which means that its performance reaches its natural best in the sign of Libra.
Moving on with the discussion, the eighth house of a horoscope is one of the most favorite houses of Saturn and in my words, it is the playground of Saturn. It means that Saturn feels as comfortable as playing football in this house of a horoscope. Hence it can produce some strong or very strong types of results when placed in this house of a horoscope, where such results may be positive or negative depending on the working nature of Saturn in such horoscope and depending on the overall tone of such horoscope. Now add to this the fact that exalted Saturn is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope and imagine what can happen now. It means that when exalted Saturn is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope, Saturn is placed in the sign it feels the most comfortable with, as well as in the house which is one of its favorite houses. Hence a sense of enhanced comfort is conveyed to such exalted Saturn and accordingly it becomes capable of producing some very strong or extreme types of results, when placed in this house of a horoscope, where such results may be strongly positive or strongly negative.
Benefic exalted Saturn placed in the eighth house of a horoscope is one of the best placements of this planet when it comes to bless the native with top class spiritual progress. Accordingly some natives under the effect of such benefic exalted Saturn may get interested in the field of spiritualism and they may engage in it on professional basis, if their overall horoscopes are supportive. For example, if benefic exalted Saturn is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra and a benefic combination of exalted Venus and Jupiter is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the native may engage in the field of spiritualism. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may conduct study and research in the field of spiritualism and he may engage in it on professional basis after that.
At the same time, if benefic Mars is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, benefic Ketu is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus and Rahu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the equation may become much better. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of such benefic exalted Saturn, exalted Venus and all other benefic planets may become a spiritual guru and he may achieve very good results through this field of profession. Such native may start a spiritual mission which may witness very good growth and in a matter of some years, this native may become a spiritual guru of national fame. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native may achieve even better results through the field of spiritualism. For instance, the presence of benefic Moon in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic exalted Venus and Jupiter can bless the native with even more success through the field of spiritualism. The native in this case may become a spiritual guru of international fame.
Apart from this, benefic exalted Saturn in the eighth house of a horoscope can also bless the native with success in many other fields of profession and this benefic influence can also give good results related to marriage and health of the native. On the other hand, malefic exalted Saturn placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his marriage, profession, finances, health and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this malefic influence may suffer from some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such malefic exalted Saturn can especially prove bad for the professional sphere of the native under its impact and it can trouble his profession in many ways, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope. Some of these natives may not be able to find stable professions till late in their lives whereas some other such natives may not find any jobs at all, till their age of 28.
Some other such natives may witness slow or very slow growth in their professions and they may not achieve much, even after engaging in a profession for many years. Malefic exalted Saturn in the eighth house of a horoscope can also make the native engage in low paying, physically hard working and labor type jobs. The presence of such malefic influence can also cause delay as well as disturbances in the marriage of the native due to which some of these natives may have to face these types of problems also. Malefic exalted Sun in the eighth house of a horoscope can also trouble the native with health problems and diseases which can be serious or very serious in some cases. In extreme cases, when such malefic exalted Saturn is supported by some other malefic planets in a horoscope, it can reduce the lifespan of the native. Such native may die at a young age by virtue of some disease or by virtue of some other reason, depending on his overall horoscope.
